Make a monthly donation and help us empower young people in their time of need.

As a local Christian charity we are passionate about empowering young people to develop their full potential in body, mind and spirit. Some are in care, others are contending with family breakdown and poor mental health whilst others are experiencing the negative consequences of homelessness.

Friends of YMCA Exeter make a monthly donation towards the services we provide. Friends of YMCA Exeter also receive membership to our monthly e-newsletter, opportunities to meet our residents and invitations to supporters events throughout the year.

To request more information or a postal copy of the direct debit form please ring our fundraising team on 01392 410530, otherwise please follow the instructions on the CAF form below.

How monthly donations help us

Our young people need tailored support in finding meaningful job opportunities – £5 could enable us to provide refreshments at one of our employment & training sessions.

Our young people may struggle with poor mental and physical health – £10 could enable us to develop new wellbeing activities for them to make better lifestyle choices.

Our young people have previously been homeless and lacked opportunities to live life to the full – £50 could facilitate two peer support groups aimed at developing new skills, nurturing self confidence and making fruitful relationships.

YMCA enables people to develop their full potential in mind, body and spirit. Inspired by, and faithful to, our Christian values, we create supportive, inclusive and energising communities, where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.
